FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and water-repellent, they are designed as casual outdoor shorts rather than dedicated swimwear. They can handle splashes, but the fabric is not chlorine-resistant.
What is the fit like compared to standard jeans?
The Leesville III features a regular fit. The part-elasticated waist provides extra flexibility, making them slightly more forgiving than rigid denim jeans.
Does the fabric provide sun protection?
Yes, the fabric is rated at UPF 50+, which provides significant protection against UV radiation.
How many pockets do the shorts have?
They feature two side pockets and two additional thigh pockets, all of which are secured with zips.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these shorts. High heat from a tumble dryer can potentially damage the water-repellent coating and the fabric's protective properties.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems less effective after several washes
The durable water-repellent coating can be refreshed using a specialized garment reproofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor wear.
Fabric appearing slightly shiny or stiff
Avoid ironing the shorts at high temperatures, as synthetic polyester can be sensitive to direct, high heat. Use a cool iron setting if necessary, or simply hang dry them straight from the wash to prevent creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Leesville III shorts, adhere to standard synthetic garment care. These shorts feature a button fastening and a standard zip fly, making them easy to put on and remove. Since they include an elasticated waist, they provide a forgiving fit, though they remain compatible with most standard belts if you prefer additional security. When cleaning, wash in cool to lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish and moisture-wicking capabilities of the polyester fabric. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers and the protective coatings.
